How to make easy Butternut Squash soup

The recipe was easy to follow and I learned a new way of preparing butternut squash. This recipe suggested cutting the squash into quarters, removing the pulp and seeds, then sprinkling Whitworths Light Soft Brown Sugar over the squash and adding a little butter over the top before baking. This made it really easy to remove the skin which I usually dislike doing.

The soup only took an hour and was easy to fit around the children’s dinner. It was delicious and the sugar gave it an interesting added flavour. Even better, the recipe made four portions so I was able to freeze the leftovers for another day.
